Do you train pups for mental health therapy certificates
Hello and Thank you for contacting Mind Your Manners Canine Training. Yes, we do train mental health dogs for various duties. Our service dog program not only fully trains your dog for that specific duty but also fully certifies the dog and trains the handler along the side of their dog.

I don't think they do. But I'm sure if they don't that they can direct you in doing so.

I've been taking my dogs to Mind Your Manners Canine Training and Boarding for over 15 years. Mancini is professional and works with your schedule. My dogs are always happy to stay there. Highly recommend!

So Mind your manners has now trained 4 labs for me over the past 7 years. I have an extremely busy schedule with 2 jobs so spending the time for training just wasn't in the cards. All of the dogs constantly get compliments on how well behaved they are. We take them from FL to PA several times a year and they do great. The latest training was of my two litter mates that just hit a year old. They are both males and of course can be the stubborn ones vs females. I can't say enough of how well Mancini trained them. Reinforcement is of course needed but he goes over that as well and it is easy. These dogs live off leash on 35 acres and will come when I call, stay when commanded and are gentle to all, especially kids. What more can you ask for?

We were real happy when we called this placed. Very personal and he listened to our needs. Paid sent dog to training. Wasn't really sure we got what we paid for, but hey what did we know. Called a few months later asking for help and support which is what is offered. We have tried for months.. and always an excuse. Cannot proclaim they ghosted us. Guess what they advertised is not what they give. I am super disappointed and upset. I am now training alone cause don't have the additional 5k or more to find someone new. I don't normally post
We are so lucky to have had our training here. It is nearly impossible to treat a dalmation to a service dog level, and Shelly was able to do the trick.

We are so lucky to have had our training here. It is nearly impossible to treat a dalmation to a service dog level, and Shelly was able to do the trick. They are dedicated to their craft and have way more than 20 years of experience as being leading wheelchair guide dog trainers. This is the power couple of dog training and we’re fortunate that they are within driving distance to us. We are now getting our second dog trained here and we are so thankful that we can send Dali back as well for unlimited refreshing. Our dalmation still recalls a lot of her training even two years our and naturally does this! I don’t think there’s anyone more qualified in this area with a quality or experience they have. Don’t look anywhere else for your service dog training seriously.
